The narrative highlights the remarkable military career of Lt Col Edward D (Moke) Murray, a distinguished officer in the Indian Army and Gurkha commander. He played pivotal roles during critical moments, including dispersing a strike in 1939, leading forces against the Japanese in Assam and Burma, and suppressing the Viet Minh in Saigon in 1945. His leadership was recognized during Queen Elizabeth II's coronation parade in 1953. Despite his significant contributions, his passing went largely unnoticed, marked only by a brief mention in the Gurkha gazette.
